A Systematic Review: Vulnerability Assessment of Wi-Fi in Educational Institution

Abstract

Wi-Fi has been widely accepted in today’s generation since it provides liberty to gain access to the network without being physically bonded. Some institutions believe this results in an increase in service and productivity, while reducing the cost of physical wiring; as users bring their devices such as laptops and tablets. With embracing the benefits of Wi-Fi, potential cyber threats can arise through this usage. This paper discusses the greater concern on security issues arising and assessment while embracing the benefits of Wi-Fi. Existing literature was used to evaluate the vulnerability assessment mechanisms available and propose recommendations that educational environments can further adopt, in addition to existing measures to better protect its users.
